I am excited to do the whole series this year. We have pulled out in SB the past 2 years, this year the boat need to end up in LA.

We did Spin Cup last year. Had so much fun I kept asking myself why we didn't do the other legs. Really looking forward to going all the way down to SD this time around! Sure hope the SC 50 and 70 crews don't drink all the beer by the time we finish and get to the bar.

Bummed I'm missing Spin Cup for the first time in 10 years. Was supposedly doing it on a friend's SC50 and when that fell through last minutish did not have enough time to get the crew logistics in place to do it in my boat :-(

BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS STRONG OFF THE WEST COAST. THE GUSTY WINDS WILL PRODUCE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS WITH STEEPER WIND WAVES AND FRESH SWELL. WINDS WILL DECREASE TUESDAY NIGHT AS A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS.

Ya, ChimChim gybing inshore, out of the good breeze, did not help. Slowed way down. The SC70 are sailing at 20+ to Chim's 12 or so. They are all far offshore my cabin here. The haze hides them. The Swan's were just visible: looked like no chutes for them.

It was a wild ride last night aboard Horizon ! New top boat speed of 28.7 knots to Max. Lots of 30 knot plus breeze. Pretty funky sea state. Had a slight delay when a quartering wave spun me into a round down. But, thanks to a great crew and well prepared boat plus an awesome job from our navigator "Elvis" we were first boat to finish in class C. Now we just have to get it back together for the SoCal 300.
